If the Andre Carter thing has taught us one thing it's that teams that ignore the ability of a DE to defend against the run in player eval will get gashed with it.
I still think that this Carter thing can work. But we have to be very careful to build the line around him adding some big guys with pass rushing ability in the middle, but without compromising our ability to stuff the run any further. This means no Simeon Rice's, no Dwight Freeney's, no guys who charge hard upfield and takes themselves out of running plays. We already have one guy who does that.
In my opinion, both Jamaal Anderson and Gaines Adams suffer from this kind of problem. They are both a little light in the ass, and having them and Carter on the field at the same time would be a nightmare. I'm would view either of them as a
replacement for Carter not a bookend.
If we gave up on Archuleta, Lloyd, AND Carter in one offseason, the financial implications would be rediculous.
I want Branch first and foremost, and my second choice would be Okoye.
